     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    AWS Free Tier
    This product has charges associated with it for seller support. Apache Spark is an open-source, distributed computing system designed for fast, large-scale data processing, supporting SQL, machine learning, streaming, and graph analytics.

    Overview

    Apache Spark 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Maintenance Support by kCloudHubs. It is a repackaged open-source solution available through the AWS Marketplace. While Spark itself is open source, enterprise support is available for teams that want expert help running production workloads on AWS.

    What Apache Spark Is All About

    Apache Spark is a fast, powerful analytics engine built for large-scale data processing. Created at UC Berkeley, Spark is known for its in-memory computing model, which allows it to run jobs much faster than traditional disk-based tools like Hadoop MapReduce. It's widely used for everything from ETL pipelines to real-time streaming and machine learning.

    Flexible Deployment Options on AWS

    On AWS Marketplace, Spark offers multiple deployment options based on how much control you want. You can run it as a ready-to-use Ubuntu 24.04 AMI with support from kCloudHubs, deploy it in containers using the Bitnami Secure Images Helm chart on Kubernetes, or go fully managed with the Databricks.

    Shared Capabilities Across All Options

    No matter which option you choose, you get the core Apache Spark engine with support for Java, Scala, Python, R, and SQL. All options handle batch processing, structured streaming, machine learning with MLlib, and Spark SQL. They also integrate seamlessly with AWS services, such as Amazon S3, for scalable storage.

    Main Differences to Know

    The Ubuntu 24.04 AMI is ideal if you want complete control over the operating system, networking, and security, and is great for custom setups or hybrid environments. The Bitnami Helm chart is designed for Kubernetes users who want quick, secure, and repeatable Spark deployments with easy upgrades. Databricks handles the entire infrastructure, offering auto-scaling clusters, built-in security, governance tools, and collaborative notebooks.

    Why Teams Choose These Options

    The kCloudHubs AMI is best for teams that want direct OS access with optional enterprise support. Bitnami Helm chart is a strong fit for cloud-native teams focused on containers and DevOps automation. Databricks is the go-to choice for organisations that want the most managed experience with minimal operational overhead.
